Might I take a moment of your time?
My name is Diana Young, without having met you in person before, let me introduce myself first.
I am the V.P. Operations for SCS building Maintenance. I have been in the cleaning business for 23 years, on which I worked for the two well-known largest companies in New England. Being proud to be part of these two great companies, 8 months ago, I decided to move to SCS Building Maintenance. A small Company with less than 100 employees and minority owned. Sound crazy? Why do I leave?
My passion is cleaning and I have expert knowledge on this field. Is amazing how you can transform any surface from dirty to cleaned! How you can transform people’s environment when is clean!
I realized that when you work for a large company the cleaning is limited, either because the cleaners are not properly trained or the company wants to get more money by charging their clients for the most insignificant “labor cost” and actually is all about productivity and techniques that the cleaners are not familiar with.
In SCS Building Maintenance, all the employees are continually trained to keep their skills current. The training sessions that we give our employees are not only about cleaning, is also about working Safe, Motivated, working with a great purpose and to know what a great contribution they are providing to all of us. Our employees are proud of what they do. That is what Makes SCS Building Maintenance different from the other companies. As a result YOU, the client will benefit by having cleaners that will give their best and their knowledge.
As the single solution for businesses who take pride in their appearance, SCS is committed to having your places of business shine above the rest. Not only will you appreciate a clean environment, but so will your clients. SCS provides the following services:
• Janitorial/Custodial
• Carpet/Floor Maintenance
• Post Construction Clean-Up
• Preventative Maintenance
SCS offers customized programs, with a focus on total quality management to help serve your janitorial needs. SCS’ experience coupled with a sound quality assurance plan will have you feeling confident and you businesses looking confident.
SCS is a premier commercial cleaning company in the New England area providing more than 2.5 million sq. ft. of custodial and janitorial services for government agencies, management companies, and retail offices.

You want short snappy sentences, and a brochure or letter that is truly quick reading, like the minute you say in the first sentence.

Add some cartoon or even photo graphics/images for interest. Vary the print, like wrap-around or centering hard-hitting points such as the bulletted section.

I don't understand the last sentence. How does a company provide a certain amount of square feet of service? Do you currently have a clientele with that many feet? Or you can cover that many? I'd reword that.
I would add a sentence somewhere in the first third about liability insurance and bonding of employees.

I thought she meant that they already provide that. Will reword better.

Good idea -- I knew we could count on you!

Skip the first paragraph and just do this one --

Of course, contact info will be in your email?
